Update #4: Still a fatgirl with a dream.....
Posted on December 4, 2009
Hello my friends, supporters..... and people I hope to one day meet!
You have changed my life. And with that change, you are helping me to change other's lives.
I am so overwhelmed tonight.... I thought I would get to the laughing myself silly in grateful satisfaction, but....I find I continue to wipe away tears of happiness and gratefulness instead.
I am going to share some stories with you over the weekend.
I want to get that number as high as possible and will be making a few area appearances to do it.....
My sincerest thanks from the bottom of my very touched heart!
KIRA

As a 300+ pound woman, I thought the best way to share the secrets of the fat world should be told by an insider. The world of size acceptance was introduced to me via accident, by a guy while I stood waiting for a train at New York City’s Grand Central Station in 1994. I’m thankful that he unknowingly led me to my people.
Upon entering the fat/BBW world, I found an avenue for friendship, resource sharing, art, and a story to share with the world. Touched by the stories I have both experienced and witnessed, I decided to share story of the collective plight, including my own, to lighten and enlighten those willing to listen. As a size activist, I testified at the Massachusetts state senate against anti- discrimination in the work place for height and weight in 2008. I feel life should not wait, despite your weight. It’s true, fat girls do float.
